Answer:

October 7, 13 and 19.

Explanation:

Sam jogs every 2 days and he pilates on every 3 days.

He jogs and pilates on October 1,

We have to calculate the next dates that he will go jogging and pilatting both.

First we will take Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2 and 3.

LCM of 2 and 3 = 2 × 3 = 6

The next date after October 1 would be = October 1 + 6 = October 7

The next date after October 7 would be = October 7 + 6 = October 13

The next date after October 13 would be = October 13 + 6 = October 19

Therefore, the next 3 dates would be October 7, 13 and 19 that he will go jogging and pilatting.
